DATE
June 1, 2007
On May 31, 2007, Walied Soliman, a lawyer at Ogilvy Renault, joined the Globe and Mail for a live online Q&A session about sharia-compliant financing. Islamic Finance is one of the fastest-growing areas of financial services in the world. Global banks are scrambling to start offering products that conform to sharia law, just as billions of dollars from oil-rich countries in the Middle East look for places to invest. Mr. Soliman answered a wide array of questions about the demand and potential for sharia-compliant financial services in Canada and its rise around the world.
